What’s included
- Two step-by-step video lessons

- Closed captions
No previous experience with Chine Collé is required. If you’re comfortable using a gel plate, you’re ready to begin.
Why try Chine Collé?
Chine Collé adds another layer of possibility to gel printing. Instead of treating collage as something added afterward, you’ll learn how to integrate paper into the print itself.
The result is a surface with more depth, texture, and visual interest, while still preserving the layered quality that makes gel printing so appealing.
This workshop is a good fit if:
- You enjoy gel printing and want to try a new technique
- You love collage and paper
- You want to create more layered, frame-worthy prints
- You’re curious about traditional printmaking methods
- You prefer a focused workshop you can complete without committing to a long course
